Ring-Around-the-Tuna is Chef Andy's personal nomination for worst recipe of all time! A "spicy" ring of shiny green gelatin studded with cucumber, celery, and TUNA!?? What were they thinking? If you showed up to a potluck dinner with this in hand, why on earth didn't they shove you back out the door and fling it after you in disgust? |
